Why I Chose Tudor Over Rolex

- Rolex is the most popular watch brand ever. Tudor isn't as good, right? Well, here are the reasons why I chose Tudor over Rolex anyway.

Thank you everyone for watching! If you get a reply saying you’ve won a prize, please ignore it. Unfortunately that’s a spam bot.
The voice is indeed next level 😂
Bro, the voice is so smooth it sounds like a voice over xD
Haha yeah!!!
You two should team up, the best videography and the best voice.
@@Nefville Thank you Nef!
I'm not absolutely positive but I am pretty sure my ears are pretty good about these things he is the person that does the voiceover for watchfinder and company okay I watched all the way to the end and I had made this comment about a quarter of the way through yes he is the voice at watchfinder and company
@@mr.eswatchreviews he is. I’m just saying being used to watch just his hands messes with my brain now.😂👌🏻
I have 3 Rolex I bought before the prices and notoriety went sky high. Quite honestly I would be embarrassed if someone noticed me wearing one. They are now investments that sit in a draw. The way I feel about Tudor is the same way I used to feel about Rolex, a great, sort of affordable wrist watch that is my secret that I can enjoy.
I bought my first proper watch last week which was the Tudor BB58, and I’m absolutely loving it
All watches are proper watches as long as they tell the time.
My problem with Tudor is that every model I like is a homage to a vintage rolex which I'd rather have.....
Congratulations on your new channel Andrew!! I have been an enthusiastic fan of yours over at WatchFinder and it is awesome to see you start your channel here and put a name to the voice!
In my opinion, Andrew Morgan is the more important factor contributing to youtube success. Watchfinder without Andrew is an empty channel.
First "old lady brooch" shout out I've heard on CZcams today! So yeah I really love this one of the fabric or the almost never seen leather strap. I mean...are we really diving? Would I prefer this over a Sub? Yes...but my pick was the 925 and of all my watches I honestly think it's the one i'd never part with. Great first episode. Good luck🍻
My experience was very different. I’ve always loved the explorer II polar and when the 226570 came out in 2021 I sent my AD a mensagem asking if it was available. I had experience with the AD, had bought a Tudor BB steel in 2018 and a JLC MC date sector in 2020. They answered that they hadn’t received the watch yet and offered me an Air King that I politely declined. Less than a month later I was offered the Explorer II.
Hi Andrew, great to put a face to that voice. Love your watch finder videos - I never miss one, and looking forward to the content you’ll be bringing via this new channel. All the best from Vancouver CANADA
Great one Andrew! Love the channel, knowledge and voice, now we have the face too. But you may want to slow down a bit, your signature voice and relax pace is what make the channel best.
Great to see you doing your own channel, really looking forward to bingeing all your videos now.
Congratulations Andrew for your first video ✌🏼🎉🎉 keep up the good work, you're a legend.
I have cherished my Rolex Sub Date 16610 since new in 2002 and it's travelled all over the world with me. However, being a watch fan I also own both the Tudor BB58 black/gilt and Blue versions just because I love the more compact, tool-like aesthetic, quality, modern in-house movement with 70 hrs reserve and the differing personalities. Looking forward to getting hands on with the new Tudor Pelagos 39.
Glad to hear that a Rolex, and two BB58s, can co exist in the same collection!
The logo and the intro music are sick, Andrew!🔥🔥🔥
Great 1st video! Keep it up and looking forward to more videos!
I was able to purchase my BB Pro from my local AD two months ago . This was the first ever watch I purchased from them. I waited about 5 weeks to get it. I would go in once a week to see if they had an idea when they would have it in stock. When I eventually got the call that it was in I went and purchased it. I absolutely love this watch. The local AD has earned my business and that's the way it should be. Because of that I'm very much considering the new Pelagos 39mm. My AD had a display only model and it looks amazing. But I'm really curious to see what improvements Tudor is planning for the next gen BB58. So far I think Tudor is moving in the right direction and I'm excited to see their next watch release. Great video Andrew, keep it up. 👍
It’s always been great to hear you, now its great to see you. Thanks Andrew!
Great video Andrew! My favourite Tudor is the Black Bay GMT, I hope to buy one in a few years and, much like you, I really like the toolish charm that it has in comparison to the modern GMT Master II, the price tag doen's hurt either haha. Cheers man!
I bought my black BB58 on watchfinder. I was on the waitlist at two ADs for the Rolex OP36 in black, and was next on the waitlist at one AD which I had a good relationship with. You convinced me that the BB58 was much better value. I don't regret my decision at all.
Great content! Looking forward to seeing more videos of yours. I'm personally torn between getting an Omega SMP polar or the Tudor BB GMT.... would love to get your input of an Omega vs Tudor watch.
God bless the CZcams algorithms! Great to see you on your own channel. I can agree on all points and am sizing up the Pepsi bezel GMT. Now all the fuss has died Dian on that
, I feel it’s time! Look forward to the next instalment 👍
For me, it’s your final point, you can walk out with one. My hopes are for a Black Bay in the 39mm range but without the good accents in the black dial with silver hands and indices. I guess that’s why I opted for the Black Bay GMT since it has that dial and hand combo.
This is strange 😂 having listened for so long to your voice on both the watch finder Chanel’s it’s nice to see a person !!! I have subscribed and hit the bell so waiting for more !!!!!
It’s even stranger for me 😅 thanks for joining me!
Hey Andrew! Ive been watching watchfinder for years... Nice to see the face behind the hands! Keep it coming ! :)
Thanks very much!
I think this channel is a brilliant idea, you can shine a light on topics you personally find interesting and we get to enjoy GOD TIER content
Holy cow, I can’t believe that is the face of the voice, great to finally see you. Love your reviews.
Congratulations Andrew! I have been a fan for sometime and looking forward to your reviews on your channel. Instant Subscriber!!!
Mannnn im sorry it’s so weird not seeing watchfinder format with you voice lmao. Anyway! Keep up the great workss!!!
I love the Tudor black bay 58, a beautiful clean dial with no date, the right size, solid movement, reasonable pricing, all of the above from a brand with heritage, that makes it the perfect watch for me.
Great video! Best of luck on this new project.
Nice to finally put a face to those…hands and voice 😃. I’m glad you created the channel. Cheers! Ps: I had the bb58 but still sold it and recently got a no date sub ! The BB58 was pretty but I was constantly afraid to scratch that aluminum bezel . I looks delicate for me. The Sub feels to me much more rugged.
I was a bit late to the BB58 party but honestly, it's the most comfortable watch I own. Perhaps it's the female ends links that does it compared to Rolex's end link. It drapes down and comfortably hugs my 6.25 inch wrist. Best of luck on your new channel, Andrew. I'm sure it will do very well.
I’m here for this!! Good to see ya!!
Nice to see u bro. Like ur narrations alot best of luck for the channel 👍🏼
Your voice, got me inclined to love watches. Your are a great story teller, your presentation style is quite incredible.
From CZcams to Reddit and back to. CZcams. Best of luck on the new channel. Subbed 👊
Wholeheartedly agree with all your points. Congrats on the new channel. Great to see the man behind the voice.
Great video and on point…great to see you in person lol
Never subscribed to a youtube channel that fast! Greetings from Switzerland
I never thought this day would come! Glad to see a face behind the legend!
Idk how I ended up here but I love the content on watch finder. Was surprised when I heard your voice lol
Nice video, I enjoyed it! One request I have going forward is that if you mention a watch, could you pop up a quick thumbnail of the one you're mentioning (e.g. The rolexes mentioned in this video, but not shown)? Would be helpful since I don't always know the exact watch being mentioned.
Congratulations on your new channel, Andrew! It's a wonderful and refreshing option.
Thank you 😊
You have listed some very good reasons why you should buy an Omega !
I bought a Heritage Black Bay in 41 mm with the blue bezel and love it. I have a Rolex GMT but I prefer my BB in 41mm. Congratulations on the new Chan..subbed
The reason not to buy a Rolex is because it's a Rolex. Great video
OMG It’s so mad seeing you in the flesh haha
Subscribed and good luck with the channel💪🏼
Yes the Tudor BB "Exprorer" is a great tool watch. Future classic. Hope the waiting list games are sensible though. 3-4 months max can be acceptable. Good luck with finding one! Deserves the waiting:)
I stand with all of those statements 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❗️❗️ great first episode ❗️❗️ All the best ❗️❗️
Absolutely right, I think Tudor is now having it’s time to shine as a stand alone brand and moving away from the perception of being a poor man’s Rolex.
It’s definitely more appealing to the new modern day wearer and is taking horology to a new era where I believe Rolex can’t go.
Couldn't agree more with everything... Picking up a Tudor BB 925 tomorrow:)
I’ve spent such a long time picturing Alan Davies when hearing this voice that the juxtaposition was, at first, quite alarming. Great to put a face to the name though, Andrew. And having owned - and loved - my BB58 (Navy) for over a year now, I concur with these sentiments entirely. Liked, subscribed, and enjoyed 😊
The voice is so smooth that it feels weird to see the actual face talking 😂. I immediately subscribe to the channel!
So cool you started your own channel! You’ve got me subscribed!
Thanks very much!
Good to see your face in a video finally. Good luck mate!
Great vid. If you're looking for a simple dive watch that isn't the Sub - check out the Omega Seamaster 300 (Heritage). Takes the vintage vibes to the next level!
About time we saw the face behind the iconic voice! A legend in the CZcams review watch space!
Wow. I am the first commentator!! Thanks for your videos. To be honest it still feels weird - for years we never had a face to the hands. And somehow you find your different style from the “talking hands” a bit more energetic, less scripted and maybe a bit less polished. Which isn’t necessary a bad thing. Keep it up!!
I compared the 58 and Pro in store a couple of weeks back. I much prefer the 58. The thickness on the Pro is noticeable but I’d say the added weight was more of a problem to me.
Happy New Year. I subscribed to show my support, before watching any of your video yet.
Thank you, and you too!
Love your content. I wish you all the best with your channel. I have no doubt it will be a great success.
Great video bro! Nice to put a face to the voice 🙌. Just subbed 👍
Fantastic to see this! Plus I bought my first BB58 from Nico before he was famous! Great guy and great experience.
Great video! Can’t wait for more 😍
Absolutely love that you started your own channel bro! When i first saw your video I was like why does this guys voice sound so familiar hahaha. Love Tudor for all the reasons that you have stated. Plus one more, I have been denied entry at a Rolex store before in NYC. I don't dress well enough to dome in I guess lol. After that I sold my Rolex that I already had and didn't want to buy a new one. Now I'm all about Tudor and love the fact that you don't have to play games. Just go in and buy a watch for the most part. How it should be. Keep up the good work bro!
Thanks very much!
The perfect wear for the average person....average is an understatement for you Andrew, Demigod, Superstar, these are the titles that come to mind..😊😂
Also, old ladies broche?..very nicely said, love it !!!!
I too hate being put on a waiting list (that you never really progress on unless you spend on other watches in the store $$), thats why I own a BB58 in Blue (the boring one) 😊
Superb video
Keep up your channel brother.
👐👽👐
We love the content and context you bring to the community
I feel like the customer care is so much more better at Tudor's. When I went in just to browse for my potential grail, the people were actually so nice! I not only got to try on a lot of different watches, but actually had a good conversation about Tudor vs Rolex and how people often times look down on Tudor. I hope their attitudes don't change by the time I've saved up enough for one 😅
I like Tudor too. I was looking for a BB Pro GMT and got it after a wait of 3 days in Plymouth of all places, not the most vibramnt city in the country, so I assume that you might get your hands on one in just a couple of days. Interesting to associate a face to a well konwn voice for years. best of luck with the channel.
Thanks for watching!
I agree about that Black Bay Pro. It’s my favorite Tudor as well.
I'm considering buying the Black Bay 58 your enthusiasm has helped me make up my mind 👍
It’s a great watch. Just gone up in price though… 😣
I just picked up a Tudor Black Bay 58 (Blue) on the secondary market, should arrive next week!
Awesome watch, congrats!
So weird seeing the face to the voice. Hahaha great video btw! More power to you
I just got my new bb58 three days ago, and I’m over the moon. I love everything about my new watch. It’s simply perfect.
Agreed 100%… I’d like to add that a reason why I would not spend so much on a Rolex is because at that price point one has a lot of high Horology options most would rather have or should at least consider… down a Tudor’s price point not as much… fantastic job! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve just purchased a 6 month old BlackBay Heritage 41mm and I couldn’t be happier, I saved a small fortune and the size is perfect for my larger wrists and I don’t feel like I need to be looking over my shoulder all the time like I used to with my Submariner.
This felt bit hectic. The WF videois are relaxing and slow in a good way. This felt like you were in a hurry, maybe slow down a bit?
Still nice video and ofcource I subscribed.😊
Love my GMT on the leather strap, feels great, as soon as i put it on that was it. Keeps great time never an issue, winds like silk.
Cool video, currently trying to get my head around rolex ad struggle.
I thought Nico was going to unveil your face on his page?
I’ve got both, the BB58 and a Starbucks. While the Rolex is better made, sturdier and more accurate, I prefer wearing the Tudor in public as it is lighter and does not get noticed. When I go to a private social event, I wear the Rolex as people stare at my wrist all evening, which is kind of fun :)
I sold my Rolex and got Tudor BB GMT, because I started feeling not safe wearing the Rolex.
Yeah I feel that Tudor is my Rolex. I tend to prefer vintage styles, and retro watches. I do like a Rolex, but Tudor just keeps hitting that sweet spot for me. The Pro, GMT, Ranger (yes, on that nato I love it), and even a Pelagos FXD are all watches I am considering. I am really spoiled for choice when it comes to the brand, when usually other watchmakers, there’s 1-2 I like at best.
Would I prefer all of the watches I named above, or one Submariner? I’ll take the Tudors, thanks.
The Tudor BB 58 is probably the best diving watch ever prouduced. Checks ALL the boxes....all of them. My favorite watch by far..
Yes Man so glad you have you're own Chanel!!
Bought a b-bay for my girlfriend when it first came out at the point nobody wanted it...the one with rose logo. Interesting how fast it caught popularity and even increased in value on second hand market,... for a good reason. Slimmer grips on rotating bezel and absence of lug guards were the main features that made it feel elegant and generally better, much better than a Rolex, plus the contrasting color bezel that actually changes from blue to gray or black based on the surroundings.
Agreed with all your points Andrew! I may add that for the abovementioned reasons the B-bay may be also a better fit for a woman than a Sub, opening up a larger market niche...maybe Tudor saw something when chose Lady Gaga to promote it.
My experience at the new Tudor boutique in LA, however, stinks as if the Rolex cockyness virus is sprrading horizontally between the two brands. I hope it was just a singled out event. Interesting enough it happened while talking about a waiting list model...
Great that you’ve got your own channel !
There was a black bay pro on bracelet sat in my AD’s window last week, I tried it on and it is an amazing watch but I’m just not in market for a new watch just yet.
The best watch narrator ever and the best voice
Great content, thanks. For me personally BB58 is the only one I am considering from the brand, others are trying too much and are deliberately made as a cheaper alternative of Rolex counterpart. But the 58 especially in the vintage colors stands for itself, I dont see it as a Submariner knock of/alternative that spot is for Tudor Submariner…
When’s the hand reveal coming? Really excited to find out who’s really behind this channel. 😉
You should review the new Pelagos 39. The BB58 is a beloved watch of mine and I got a 124060 Sub - but this new, smaller, all titanium Pelagos may just seriously nullify all Submariner momentum. Do a review! Love the new channel where you have a face and a name. Cheers!
Andrew, can't you have a little window that only focusses on your hands?
I'm having trouble matching the voice with the face.😂
Voice with the hands...no problem.
Great content, thanks.
It’s the NWA and you gotta get used to it 🤣
I love both brands Andrew but I hate the Rolex image because some rich people without any taste are wearing them. I have two Rolexes and three Tudor watches and the majority of my time, (85% ) I'm wearing Tudor for obvious reasons.
Thanks for another great video.
Good luck with the channel. I imagined you were a suit wearing gent, but there you go. I have Rolex and Tudor including the new Ranger. Rolex for whatever reason, (? due to the metal) wears better, softer/warmer. My Submariner comes from the era when you could walk in and buy from stock. There is no waiting list here, (including Tudor) just an expression of interest list.
The new Tudor bracelet works really well, no faux rivets. My BB58 is the one that gets the most comments, great value as you mentioned.
Agree with everything…and its why i got the Tudor GMT a few years ago…but now after getting a white dial seamaster300, I think Omega has a lot of what you mentioned about Tudor, except looking like Rolex, but i find Omega quality is a notch above without being too much more expensive.
Great video, I think the sound was a little ‘thin’? But maybe that’s just me.
Finally the face reveal! I own both BB58 and sub and I could easily agree with you. The only Sub I would consider wearing over my BB would be pre ceramic no date Sub. Most modern Rolex are way too flashy for most of my occasion.
I’ve never been a fan of Rolex (even as a little kid), although I would make an exception for a Bluesy. The fact that Tudor is an understated but great watch is why I prefer it over Rolex. I much prefer a low-key watch than something that is essentially a “Look at me!” sign on the wrist, at least to me. To each, their own.
Cant believe I got more subscribers at one point than Andrew Himself, but cheers! Love it man
